Last week John Young's information site Cryptome.Org
began publishing documents related to the interviews conducted by the 9/11 Commission
which were released for the first time. On January 3, Cryptome posted the 9/11
Commission's report on my interview (the infamous Sibel Edmonds Case), and aptly
titled this particular file as "Sibel
Edmonds Censored Yet Again." Once you read the PDF document you'll quickly
see the reason for Cryptome's appropriate label. The entire report, by that
I mean the entire report, is blacked out (actually, whited-out;-). It took me
less than one minute to scan the entire document; basically, scrolling down
the white pages-one white page after another. Initially, I was not a bit surprised.
Hey, I've been declared the most gagged and classified person in US history,
after all- State Secrets Privilege invocation twice, gagging the entire Congress
for the first (and only) time in US history, hundreds of pages of blacked out
DOJ-IG report... So, as I said, I didn't find it a bit surprising. However,
after the minute it took to go over these blank pages, I started clicking and
scanning all the other files (interviews by the 9/11 Commission), and that's
where I was truly surprised:

Despite some redactions here and there, and in a few cases fairly extensive
redaction, there were no interviews where the entire interview (and the report
on the interview) was blacked out in its entirety. Mine was the only one privileged
and honored to such degree! Why? I mean, come on, we are talking about interviews
with: FBI Special Agent in Charge on Counterterrorism, CIA Officers with Directorate
of Intelligence with a Specific Focus on Drugs & Thugs, The Chairman of
National Intelligence Council, NSA Chief of Counterintelligence & SIGNIT
Support, Senior CIA Analysts...Yet, none of these interviews was redacted
in its entirety. None. Please be my guest and make your own comparison; My 9/11
Commission interview document here, and the rest,
here,
here,
here,
here,
here...You
can check out the rest published by Cryptome here, and if you want more here
for thousands of them.

I e-mailed Mr. Young to get his opinion and ask whether he had noticed the
same interesting phenomena. He confirmed my observation and we shared the exact
same conclusion: This particular interview was 'exceptionally'
redacted.

Next, I started all over again, and this time I checked for the location of
these interviews conducted by the 9/11 Commission. Why? Because after checking
with the DOJ/FBI/State Department/DOD, the 9/11 Commissioners insisted that
my interview to be conducted in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented
Information Facility). I was stuck inside one of these almost airless highly
claustrophobic dungeons for over three hours for my interview. I was told by
the commission staff that this was due to the 'extreme secret and
sensitive nature of Ms. Edmonds' information.' Yet, none of
the high-level counterterrorism officials, CIA operatives and agents, senior
analysts...(at least all the ones I've scanned so far) were required
to give their interviews inside a SCIF, or even a cleared room (they have specialists
come and declare the room/facility clear & free of bugs). When you go to
my interview document (here), look at the top of the page, find 'location'
and see what it says. For mine it says: GSA SCIF. Now, if you were to go to
all the other documents and check the interviewees' location for the interview,
you'll see No SCIF, and locations like: Commission's K Street Office
(regular meeting room), or, regular offices or meeting rooms within various
government agencies & HQs.

Another interesting point that came to me later had to do with the length of
the Commission's redacted interview with me. I know I was in there for
over three hours, and at the top of the report they actually confirm that. I
know I didn't waste time talking about the employment and whistle blowing
aspects of my case, instead I asked them to get that info from the IG or various
congressional offices. I spent over three hours talking, answering questions,
and writing for the 9/11 Commission investigators, with no break, no interruptions,
and not even a pause for side conversations. I have transcribed interviews,
I have typed many pages of phone/recorded conversations at the FBI while a translator,
I have prepared many reports based on interviews, and I know that there is no
way in this world you can transcribe or report on three hours of nonstop interview,
especially mine, in less than 10-12 pages (single spaced!). Yet, the total number
of redacted pages released by the 9/11 Commission totals about 5 pages. What
else did they do with my interview besides redacting? This is what I call 'sending
it to a never-to-be retrieved Black Hole.'

I wonder what the US media has to say on this; especially the ones who've
done their share of censoring and redacting on this particular case. Any ideas?
